This has flown over my head but presume it was good intentioned
Was indeed. Some really nice people brought me up grub to the house last week that they had cooked themselves. Meant an awful lot.

Will keep that in mind. Sorry for your loss also. The husba would be a good supermacâs man so Iâll make the necessary arrangements.

Itâs all fine and dandy if you want a dull, sombre occasion. Mass, sympathies and the cortège moves onto the crematorium. Meanwhile all your oulâ buddies - sporting, farming, drinking, wren-boys are all left to look at each other rather than the customary ârefreshmentsâ (substitute porter session here) that is generally the norm here. Wonât matter a shite to the deceased but it would matter to their pals of long standing. Then youâd have it to be said âthe mane bastard got crematedâ and it would be a black mark against your family for generations.
Each to their own of course but Iâm out.

Canât you do all that after a cremation? My mother was cremated and it was the same as any other funeral, substituting the crematorium for the graveyard

Way to go. Sure holding up a spot of land for eternity when your dead is awful selfish if you ask me
Errah Shur youâre checked out before that!
I was at a funeral of a suicide victim today - my first and hopefully last time for such an event.
The church was packed and was dead silent beforehand. People In shock and people very sad.
Sympathising was done by way of waving as you pass by (no handshakes) and the family were appreciative of us being there. They are a lovely bunch on both sides.
The lady had a young lad of 14 - an only child. Iâve known him since he was a toddler. As the coffin was wheeled from the church he looked lost - why wouldnât he be? He was enveloped then by an uncle who gripped him hard.
So much sadness and shock around. And disbelief.

People are good though. No comments, no judgments, just full support however little it helps.

Itâs horrible
Christ thatâs grim Farmer.
Itâs knocked me for six mate if Iâm honest. I find it hard to process never mind the poor family.
Anyway - we go to Norwich.

It seems to be rampant at the moment, a friends brother in law took his life last week. Wife and young kids . Shocking stuff!
Strange too given the bright time of the year.
Things seem to be getting out of control, war in Ukraine, cost of living gone through the roof, Covid lockdown, shite government who canât run the country. it seems to be one bad thing after another at the moment.

Iâd imagine all the shite thatâs gone on in past 3 years would cause major stress on the mind.
I was pretty anxious early doors of the Ukraine invasion. Young kids at home. Would work be okay? Thoughts of what kind of a world Iâm bringing up children in etc.
Mind is a fragile piece of equipment
